well, you know where I stand on the tails. I don't like them, but they look alright. 1 thing you need to do is slam that bitch.

hey GS.....thanks again....

i was trying to look at the wheel wells last night to see how much of a drop it could take....i wanted to do about 1.5 inch all the way around....but the gap from tire to wheel well in back is under 2 inches....there's this lip on the interior of the well (right about the outside edge of the tire) that is so close to the tire already....

these are only 16" wheels on there....will it handle 1.5" drop? can you shave anything off of the interior of the wheel well to help with clearance?....as always, any help appreciated....peace...mc

Keep it as stock looking as possible...a "SLEEPER".

I like the way the black slipstreams look like on your car.

Hmmm...I think I'll go black too...but with the silver lip one.

a 1.5" drop is very conservative. Don't worry about any rubbing and just do it!
